While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running. Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we’ll update you again as soon as we can.

I'm sure glad I don't have to pay to use PSN.

I'm an xbox fanboy here but it seems like the PSN goes down a lot. Especially compared to xbox live. I haven't had an xbox live outage (other than scheduled maintenance at 3 am) in a very long time.

That sucks, man. My friend was pretty upset about it when we got to work this morning. He went to the midnight release of the new MK and tried to get a few matches in before work and was greeted with the same error. I haven't played a game online since my son got ahold of the copy of Black Ops, bit onto it, drug his teeth across the disc and threw it in the bath tub....yaaaaay children....

[sideswipe]

per Tom's guide looks like may be down through Saturday, ugh, MK out & can't go online but get plenty of practice vs. AI lol

[RasputinAXP]

You get what you pay for? :P

Sorry to troll but...

Do you guys have your online access back?

Do you guys have your online access back?

The PlayStation network & Qriocity are still down and will be down until they patch the network.

[AttiTech]

The PlayStation network & Qriocity are still down and will be down until they patch the network.

That suuuuucks. My Gamer Heart goes out to all you guys. I haven't made the plunge to purchase a PS3 yet, so I'm okay with my 360. When I do, no more Xbox live......ever.

Update On PlayStation Network/Qriocity Services
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media
An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.

The latest update.
Latest Update for PSN/Qriocity Services
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media
We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.
We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.

It may be, as someone has speculated, whoever it was that hacked PSN deleted some critical code.

BTW, don't be surprised when (not if) XBox/Windows live gets crashed.

[ncxcstud]

more than likely PSN is going to be the only one that is attacked. Why? Because Microsoft hasn't pissed off the hacker community like Sony has with the GeoHotz stuff...

[Earl Bonovich]

BTW, don't be surprised when (not if) XBox/Windows live gets crashed.

It will happen some day... Just the law of averages.
But the fact that it hasn't happened yet todate... and that Microsoft (and it's products) have the biggest target on their back... tells yah a lot about how that service was designed and built.

[RasputinAXP]

Live has unintentionally gone down for spans of 12 or 24 hours. Never more than a day.

[AttiTech]

It honestly wouldn't bother me if Live went down. I purchased my yearly subscription to Live 4 months ago and I only play on live when Gamefly sends me a game that has an interesting online mode, Like Medal of Honor that I just sent back. I beat the campaign and played online for a few days just for some easy achievements then sent it back. Pretty much the extent of my playing any games online. Other than that, I browse for demos for my gamefly queue and my qife customizes and downloads things for her Avatar.

[RasputinAXP]

And boom goes the dynamite.

Valued PlayStation Network/Qriocity Customer:
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have:
Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.
We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.
Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.
For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.
To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it:
U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.
We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus place a “fraud alert” on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, please contact any one of the agencies listed below.
Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013

We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.

That's why I use PSN gift cards only when buying DLC.

I checked and no e-mail from Sony.

[AttiTech]

So no ETA of the PSN for you guys, huh? That blows. I do the same thing with my live account when it comes to purchasing DLC's and live subscriptions. I'd much rather not have to put my information out there and just buy the cards from Gamestop or Wal-Mart.

MS was sued three years ago for outages.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6184323.html
This after MS offered up a free game download
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6184292.html

I can't find any info if the suit was won, lost, or thrown out.

[Lucavex]

If Sony was smart about this, as soon as PSN was back online and secure, they'd offer something to their subscribers to recoup the time they lost to their favorite games.

A majority of new released these days have a heavy emphasis on online content and multiplayer content, so not being able to access that is like being able to play only half of the game.

Sony would do their customers right if they offered perhaps a free PSN title or credit toward any PSN purchase once they get back online.

Honestly... IMHO... it is a lot more now, not about being down for the week.
(They can make that up with a free game, or credit for an additonal month... similar to what Microsoft did).

It is now about what was obtained from the security breach.
I no longer have a Playstation (haven't had it for over a year), but when I did... I did fill out the profile and information for PSN.

I don't believe I ever added my Credit Card information, so I am not too worried about it. But you will have possibly MILLIONS of people that have, that now concerned about their info being compromosied... and couldn't give two hoots about the network itself being back up.

[harsh]

If Sony was smart about this, as soon as PSN was back online and secure, they'd offer something to their subscribers to recoup the time they lost to their favorite games.I'd be more interested in a free year of credit monitoring. I don't like they way they danced around whether the credit information was compromised or not. Assume that it has until you can prove that it hasn't.

I recently had an property insurance company offer a free year of credit monitoring without knowing whether "useful" information had been purloined or not. That's the second step after urgently and actively informing all customers of the breach and disseminating an exhaustive list of safety measures.

Latest XBL Exploit Takes Aim at User's Credit Cards
Allistair Pinsof | 27 Apr 2011 8:30 am
Microsoft has posted a Service Alert, warning Xbox Live users that their credit cards have been compromised by hackers through a Modern Warfare 2 exploit.

"Users may receive potential phishing attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2," the warning reads.

What Microsoft hasn't said is how to know if you've been hacked, how to prevent it from happening and why this is happening now. However, a quick glance at recent posts on the Xbox.com forum unveils statements from individual XBL users who have been attacked - some who have been hit as far back as a month ago and are still waiting for Microsoft to respond.

Also, it seems Modern Warfare 2 isn't the only game that hackers are using to access user information.

"I was de-ranked and my points are now in the negative in Call of Duty 4," XBL user PIOAKADRAMAFREE wrote. "I had a 55 gold cross [rank] and my score on the leaderboard was 55k. After getting hacked, I have a 1 gold cross and a negative score. The player and I exchanged private messages and within those messages he demanded that $10 be paid to him through Paypal to unhack my account."

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/109592-Latest-XBL-Exploit-Takes-Aim-at-Users-Credit-Cards

This seems different though.
Seems to be more of an attack on the individual games/exploits that are exposed by the different titles, versus the entire network.

[RasputinAXP]

Users may receive potential phishing attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2.

That's a far cry from "oops, all of your information is in the wild, and maybe even your credit card info".

[satexplorer]

Sony Playstation has also forgot to mention that the breach be phishing. The latest evidence, There was an email circulating at the end of March 2011. "On April 1, 2011 SCEA Sony Computer Entertainment America will become SNEA Sony Network Entertainment America". Asking users to Log in to another website that had the infamous word Innovyx. Email also says Sony will deactivate and transer their online services.

[Lucavex]

According to Sony Exec Kazou Hirai, PSN should be up in limited functions (online gaming) this week, and expect services to be fully fully restored mid-may. When full functionality returns, apparently PSN users will be given access to some free downloads. Although I do agree with previous posters on this point in that I believe we should be offered free credit monitoring services. A few free downloads will stay my rage momentarily though.

Already there are a few class action suits in the works. Keep an eye on your identity, and your ear to the ground.

Those are some pretty decent titles, actually.

I'm surprised, I figured they'd just throw us some random DLC that nobody would really want or need. These are all titles I don't have, and would like to own.

Neat.

Well, I tried to sign on and it forces you to change your password via a PC. I click on the link and the website it takes you to tells you that the server is down for maintenance.

The only way to change your password is via the ps3. They did have the option to change via the website but they found out that the information that was taken could be used to reset the password because so many people use the same password for everything on the web.

I'll check again, but when I tried to sign-on it stated that I needed to change my password. The prompt stated that an e-mail has been sent to me and to click on the link there and update the password via a PC.

Yup. I don't see anywhere to change my password on the PS3. It tells me to check my e-mail and change it from a PC.

It told me my password was expired, asked me to enter a new one, and when I finished and hit confirm, it gave me a gibberish error and would not let me continue.

It you highlight the password field and hit X it should let you edit.

I was able to change my password a few days ago after I updated the console.

Here's the cnet article (http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20063973-260.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0) on the password exploit.

[Davenlr]

It took 4 tries, but I was finally able to change my password, re-accept the TOS, and log in...except the server is offline, so you cannot do anything.

Guess I'm SOL for now.

No. First time I tried to log on, it told me my password had expired, and to choose a new one. After entering the new one, it gave me an error. I hit back, and entered it again, and got an error. Tried that 4 times, and on the 4th time, it accepted the new password, and took me to the TOS screen. After I accepted the TOS, it took me BACK to the login screen again. Typed in my new password, told it to save it, and it logged me on.

When I tried to do anything, however, it said the server was down. So I am watching ESPN3 via my playon server with it now.

Gotcha. For me it just stated that I needed to change my password (nothing about it being expired) and that a link was sent to my e-mail address. Guess I'll hafta wait till the password reset page comes back up.

[Lucavex]

Personally, I'm waiting until all this mess blows over before I sign onto my PSN again.

Anonymous has been threatening another attack, and while 90% of the crap they talk I take with a grain of salt, there are a few among them who can back up those claims with action. So I think I'll just keep my happy bum off the PSN until this is all resolved. No matter how secure the system, there will always be vulnerabilities if it's connected to the internet.
